shades of scarlett conquering (2022 remaster) - joni mitchell lyrics
[verse 1]
out of the fire like catholic saints
comes scarlett and her deep complaint
mimicking tenderness she sees
in sentimental movies
[verse 2]
a celluloid rider comes to town
cinematic lovers sway
plantations and sweeping ballroom gowns
take her breath away
[verse 3]
out in the wind in crinolines
chasing the ghosts of gable and flynn
through stand*in boys and extra players
magnolias hopeful in her auburn hair
[verse 4]
she comes from a school of southern charm
she likes to have things her way
any man in the world holding out his arm
would soon be made to pay
[verse 5]
friends have told her not so proud
nеighbors trying to sleep and yelling “not so loud”
lovers in anger “block of icе”
harder and harder just to be nice
[verse 6]
given in the night to dark dreams
from the dark things she feels
she covers her eyes in the x*rated scenes
running from the reels
[verse 7]
beauty and madness to be praised
’cause it is not easy to be brave
to walk around in so much need
to carry the weight of all that greed
[verse 8]
dressed in stolen clothes she stands
cast iron and frail
with her impossibly gentle hands
and her blood*red fingernails
[outro]
out of the fire and still smoldering, she says
“a woman must have everything”
shades of scarlett conquering, she says
“a woman must have everything”
